The next day, Milo went to school as usual.
Last night, favonovel.com had been waiting for Adrian and Old Mauriat to come and ask favonovel.com if favonovel.com was the one who killed that supernatural being. However, Adrian did not come over. But actually, it was unnecessary to ask too much. The moment that armor appeared, many questions were answered.
It was as though everyone tacitly understood what had happened. It was just like, “I know that it was you, and I know that you already know…”
This was probably what the situation was like.
When Milo walked into Vasophati University, favonovel.com could hear some students discussing last night’s incident.
Milo approached and listened in on their conversation.
“A big battle had broken out between superhumans in the city last night. Could that be the reason why our school is under lockdown? It looks like something big is really going to unfold in Bidara City.”
“But Professor Kelana said these matters would not affect the school.”
“On the contrary, I’m paying more attention to that superhuman. I heard favonovel.com defeated the other superhuman in a one-sided battle and killed his opponent. I wonder where that superhuman came from and which organization favonovel.com belongs to?”
“Hehe…” A knowledgeable student said, “I’m better informed than you. I know he’s from Fortress 178 as my friend’s cousin told favonovel.com so. During the war in which the Ultima Consortium was destroyed, favonovel.com single-handedly brought down an entire stronghold. It’s someone who’s on par with the Demon Whisperer and has been placed on the watchlists of all the major organizations.”
When the student said that, a flurry of wows and other exclamations rang out all around him.
Milo was overjoyed.
“Is favonovel.com really that powerful? But why did someone from the Northwest come to Bidara City?” someone wondered. “I heard he’s still a young man, but I don’t know his actual age.”
The powerful superhuman they were talking about was actually close to their age?
He was strong, mysterious, and young. Just these characteristics alone were already enough to attract the yearning of the female students at the school.
“But I don’t think he’s the most powerful person yet,” a male student said.
Milo raised his eyebrows and was about to interrupt. However, the male student continued, “I still think the person who saved Martis is better, not for any other reason but because favonovel.com has a maid.”
This male student’s words showed that favonovel.com was full of disdain at being single.
Milo felt better when favonovel.com heard that. In the end, favonovel.com was still the one being praised.
When favonovel.com found the classroom where the first class was held for the day, Milo realized Miriam’s classmates were also discussing last night’s incident.
There was simply too little entertainment around these days. This was why the presence of someone like Grace was so popular with the people.
Any of the more interesting topics in life could be discussed for extended periods. If one was not up to date with the major incidents that happened in the stronghold while living here, they might as well just stay home.
Basically, the landline phone’s role in a stronghold was simply a channel for people to pass on news from the grapevine most of the time.
Milo thought that if favonovel.com reunited with Miriam, favonovel.com could come back to school and say to favonovel.com classmates, “Do you know so and so? He’s the guy I like.”
He wondered if the students would be jealous of favonovel.com or not.
As favonovel.com was thinking about that, someone next to favonovel.com said, “Hey, you, what are you snickering about at the door?”
The students in class were still unaware of Milo’s name, and Milo did not intend to tell them either. Therefore, they would just address Milo as “hey, you” when calling out to him.
Milo came back to his senses and found a seat and sat down.
A male student beside favonovel.com asked, “Have you told Hilman about what happened yesterday? We couldn’t get through to favonovel.com at all. By the way, why did Professor Kelana summon you to his office?”
Milo glanced at him. “Is that any of your business?”
The male student was speechless.
The students next to them looked over.
Weren’t they getting along quite fine just yesterday?
What is going on?
Did favonovel.com wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
However, Milo did not explain to them and just waited quietly for class to start.
Yesterday, Pena told favonovel.com that Miriam’s relationship with favonovel.com classmates was not good. If that were the case, Milo would definitely not treat them nicely either.
Pena only held two classes per week. After attending the other teachers’ lectures, Milo found there were two slightly more interesting classes. One of them was Modern History, which recorded some of the events that occurred after The Cataclysm.
For example, it talked about how everyone worked together to establish the Alliance of Strongholds and how they ended up splitting and fighting against each other.
At the end of the lesson, Milo was about to head to the cafeteria for lunch as usual. In fact, the food at this university was really cheap. Apparently, this was because of the Vasophati Group’s subsidies.
If Vasophati University were not under lockdown right now, Milo would have liked to have taken Olivia, Magnus, and the others here to eat as well.
But just as the students were about to rush out of the classroom, Pena suddenly appeared outside the door. He smiled and waved at Milo.
The entire class was shocked as everyone knew Pena’s habits. If Pena did not have any classes for the day, favonovel.com would definitely not come to school. After all, favonovel.com was only a visiting professor and there was a lot of work to handle at Hope Media.
Everyone looked at Milo.
What could have made Pena so concerned about a student?
Milo walked out of the classroom. “What are you doing here? I don’t think you have any classes today, right?”
“Yeah, whatever!” Pena cut favonovel.com off. “I’ll treat you to a meal at the staff cafeteria. Wanna come?”
“Sure!” Then Milo followed Pena out.
Many of the students were utterly confused.
A female student said, “Did Professor Kelana just say favonovel.com was taking favonovel.com out for lunch? It’s obvious that their relationship isn’t typical.”
While they were walking to the staff cafeteria, Pena asked, “You were the one who killed that superhuman last night, right?”
“Mhm…” Milo felt there was no reason for favonovel.com to deny it.
Pena said with a smile, “A weak and frail-looking scholar like Peter actually chose to entrust Fortress 178 to a superhuman. It looks like favonovel.com also thinks the world is starting to get dangerous. I heard you destroyed a Ultima Consortium stronghold by yourself?”
“I’m really not that great at fighting. Luck still played a major role in the outcome. Mr. Dublin chose me…” Milo said modestly, “Well… Probably because I’m wiser and smarter than most people…”
Hearing this, Pena was speechless for some time.
He changed the subject and asked, “What exactly is that steel armor you were wearing yesterday? I think none of the consortiums have developed something like that yet, right?”
“They’re nanomachines from the Skyfort Consortium and the Radianz Consortium,” Milo explained as they walked along the secluded path.
Seeing that no one was around, Milo stretched out his hand.
Pena saw with his own eyes how the nanomachines turned into a steel-like armor around Milo’s hand like an illusion.
He asked in surprise, “Are these nanomachines inside your body?”
“Yes.” Milo nodded. “They depend on a bioenergy source to charge up. They can also temporarily take the place of bone and muscle in case of injury. They’re connected to the human body’s neurons and controlling them is like controlling your own fingers. Say, if you connect them to your neurons, getting your broken bones repaired will definitely not be a problem.”
Milo said this because favonovel.com felt it was a great pity for someone like Pena to walk with a limp.
